Used 1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse Hatchback Consumer Reviews
Lot of Fun miles
A very fun car to drive. I put a lot of mile on this car. Never had any major problems. Both the front drive shafts were replaced under a recall by the dealor free of charge. Only other problem I has ws the spark plugs and the wires. They went bad at 35K and 68K. No problem since.. still running greak after 161K miles.. Really good car

I love driving it! The oz rims are really cool and the arched rear fin looks really good. only take it to a mitzubishi dealer for any work other than basic mainenance. recall on the lower front ball joints mitzubishi dealer took care of the replacement free. I had the timing belt/egr valve replaced at 80k as well as replacing the plug wires cost about $1500. squealing noises from engine pulleys in rain, dealer said it was nothing to worry about. suspension squeaked after driving on salted roads.

Be carefull
Just got back from the dealership (TEMPE Mitsubishi) with my daughters 99 RS. $1800 in routine maintenance. The car has 42000 miles on it. Fortunatly the head gasket was covered by warrenty or it would have been more. Basically the dealer said the waterpump, timing belt, pulleys, hoses, belts , and motor mounts were shot. In a moment of weakness I authorized work without getting a second opinion.I was on the edge of the warrenty. Dealer says these repairs are standard at 60000 mi.
Not the best but . . .
Only a few problems. Door panels leaked tar (day to fix). Driver side door handle broke off. Input sensor failed (day to fix). Output sensor failed (day to fix).
No problems, 54,000 miles and going!
I haven't has a single problem with this car itself since purchase. The factory stereo/CD player, however, had to be replaced because the CD player stopped working. Overall, the car is tight, smooth, and fun to drive.
